and bringing up the rear maria of a tourist. and tired and bewildered and most of all they're scared escobar has been on the run for sixteen months i mean is no longer the all powerful drug lord who for years had terrorized colombia. the public enemy number one lives like a hunted animal from his hiding place somewhere in colombia the drug dealer is powerless to help his family and his cabal always had an achilles' heel his family his daughter his son meant everything to him. his achilles' heel is something the colombian authorities are planning to take full advantage of from the moment they check into a hotel the family is under constant surveillance they've become the bait. it's just a matter of time before the godfather makes the mistake of falling into the trap

the police have said. is for what is ask about slip through our fingers too many times it's unbelievable she was incredibly. moved by escobar used to bomb schools soup. markets anyway what you see. will get out and you knew all about the families of the police you knew with them all those c.s.b. of them that follow those lives and how many brothers they.

maybe and sixteen years later maybe in his columbia's second city one of its busiest and richest and the country's bread basket. sixteen years later in the city still has a bad reputation. the settling of scores continues but these days it's between small time drug dealers. and it's nowhere near like it was in escobar as time. well ecology at the time of the humans

a mad house bullets for breakfast and lunch and bombs for dinner. but. you know what people die every day every morning that the bodies near the mountains would call it public cemetery each day that because people would be mowed it often just dumped on the open ground. there are a few people left but us cobol well you have to know where to look. for the tasco is to find them. according to some one of best balls formal of time outs is still a lot of. little

video from those years still exists. his name is john jairo of ls quiz alias popeye. police wanted posters back then popeye was not far behind his boss escobar when it came to the pecking order he was implicated in a number of motives sources claim that he's been serving time in prison for several gives what seems certain is that he was able to survive in bogota his notorious la modelo prison on the home. life in the old prison was a daily diet of insecurity and frequent violence where the prisoners ruled the roost as cabal's former right hand man has since been spirited away to much safer surroundings. it takes a few more days to track down now want to be knows where he is but the system's finally pays off. there is

a last some news. popeye's being held about one hundred kilometers from bogota in this modern detention center. it's a high security prison with murderers drug traffickers and hired killers among its inmates. no t.v. crews had ever been allowed inside before it was considered too dangerous but once again persistence pays off and an exception is made. a chance to talk one on one with pablo escobar as most loyal left times. and he's the best person to give a firsthand account of his former bosses life in the wrong. you know what made you have the time back in may there were fifteen hundred people looking for us

going to be out of this bellagio is that alessio israelis british americans the colombian secret service the cia the da. everyone was off to. get this out of bed this is thoughtful and one that other hunters have been avoided. by and never refused one of his bosses orders however ruthless they may have been he claims he was responsible for two hundred fifty of the estimated ten thousand murders ordered by a. once there was a very high profile woman that we will order to kill in custody not like you know that and we shelter and the intercontinental hotel but getting out of the hotel was tricky as the police had time to helicopter they opened fire and i was hit here in the artery i managed to get home and public escobar himself came over to see me that's when i realized it was a friend not just the boss i had a friend not a boss the matter you tell was an army of lambs led by a lion i was a lamb the boss was a lion. by

the mid one nine hundred seventy s. escobar was at the height of his powers. he was the leader of a group made up of his cousins and friends that ruled the drug trade along side with three hundred men an army of hide killers locally as the sea county us devoted body and soul to the corps these men created the now infamous cartel. the cartel specialized in cocaine. revolutionized the way the drug was transported any means was good by road by m. or by c. . hundreds of kilos of the drug was soon reaching the united states and europe escobar never seen children ideas to introduce liver is to his best clients in the

u.s. even have the submarine built in one nine hundred eighty s. cabal reached his senate becoming the undisputed godfather of the world's cocaine try. as ruthless as he was derek. barely ten years escobar had come a long way from a small time grave he had become the all powerful king of cocaine a godfather whose net worth of the time was estimated at five billion dollars. and almost as if to prove he could do what he liked he pushed the envelope to the limit by having his photo taken with his son outside the white house. he uses his profits from drugs to buy a real estate in miami florida under the noses of the american authorities. escobar becomes america's worst nightmare u.s. federal justice authorities demand his immediate extradition. he

formed a group called the us study. for their motto is a better coffin in colombia than a prison cell in the united states when he declared war on colombia because of the extradition we'd never expect that the sides of that war. escobar reveals his true personality a psychopath who orders the murders of everyone who might be involved in processing his extradition judges journalists politicians police anyone. during this period of terror an estimated ten thousand fall victim to ask about his killing spree for sometime we will go outside after obama. and see him body parts you're seeing small children infants that be killed simply because their parents were placed into.

such incidents but the colombian authorities to act and they decide to eliminate the godfather of. price is put on his head and he becomes public enemy number one. for the me want to give. up low escobar alias the doctor vanishes from sight. a french t.v. crew that had been working on another story comes across as in the bush. the subsequent interview is a major scoop and the first time a european media has ever filmed the drug trafficker. in front of the camera escobar goes to some lengths to justify himself just so far as a lot of. what we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine period cocaine is inviting the well you know why because it's a drug that's less strong damaging than the all those there are drug addicts and

because of a lack of education and discipline. it's the same with alcohol and there's no difference between someone sleeping on the sidewalk because of drink or because of drugs. because. the godfather goes on to pick up part of the american arguments against the cocaine trade see like ok right now it's cocaine that's considered dangerous evil because the americans can't control it only goes it's the colombians of produce that that's the real problem. in that same year the median call tell ships out three hundred kilograms a day of cocaine to the united states u.s. officials have had enough and again demand the extradition of the drug store. hunted in his own country and want to buy u.s. justice there appears no way out for escobar undeterred he tries to bargain for his freedom with the colombian government it's an online plea bonsa.

in june one thousand nine hundred ninety one an assorted convoy of vehicles is heading into the mountains near medina to a place known as the captured drought inside the vehicles his gunman flank the godfather escobar has agreed to surrender and serve time but in a prison that he himself has built to his own specifications escobar is dictating the terms and his purpose built jail conspicuously has neither prison bars nor keys on the radio escobar explains that he has surrendered for the sake of the colombian people and at the moment i thought a good ending at this historic moment when our fighters are giving themselves up to bring calm to the country i cannot ignore the polls for peace by the last majority of a colombian people. and we gotto june one thousand nine hundred one when you. got

the drywall is a five star luxury prison with all the comforts of home. and even better than most homes of the time as a state of the art kitchen music centers telephones. outside there's a huge telescope which allows the godfather to keep track of police as they come and go as well as keep watch over his family who have remained in the valley below . during the day pablo and his associates have no time to get bored the cocaine and pot continues to grow. the prison a cultural was crime central it was where they controlled the drug traffic and the government was fully aware of the fact that when what was going on leaks out it causes a huge scandal with the president of colombia himself forced to explain he was not a joke what happened he's such

a cop osteo be intimidation that we end up discovering that most of these soldiers were already. fried. the government insists he served time in a real prison sensing a trap he refuses. one night as his friend popeye and a dozen henchmen escape. i'm going to escape for the friends but there are no police and i want all we want we must have left at about eleven at night it was very foggy outside when there was gave his discovered a state of alert as declared after a year in his private prison pablo escobar has once again gone on the ground. the police realize they need to act quickly as the godfather is on familiar territory and every hour lost gives him the opportunity to disappear for good

nothing is left to chunks each house and maybe and its suburbs a search starting with those belonging to his left hand of. the night. but by the morning of the twenty second of july nine hundred ninety two the authorities admit they've lost him escobar has apparently vanished into thin air. in bogota the government says that sauce parades are barely twenty four hours off to his escape it sets up the bloke ale that was good on an elite unit whose sole tosk is to track down home and its headquarters are in the city center the one

thousand strong unit is made up of highly trained and handpicked policemen and soldiers from the commandos make sure that none of amanda from heading in. and that all of them have a squawk so subtle with escobar choosing those who have lost at least one member of their families to the gangsters hit man. the head of the unit is colonel hugo mustiness as methodical as he is i'm corruptible. but. his number two is major hugo i do yeah his role is to gather intelligence he's a stuff as nails and farley determined. the americans send two of their best drug officers to work alongside the columbia is on the ground. who is the best of the best in going after him we had all the resources we wanted

by resources i'm talking about the the money the quick money. the intelligence d.n.a. at this time i created a. tape t.k.o. program which says that we were we were targeting a school bar all over the world. many in becomes a city under siege the special unit is everywhere with cock blanche to do as it pleases sweeping everywhere and such and everyone. to begin with the dragnet turns off little more than weapons telephones explosives common enough and maybe and and the usual suspects most of them petty criminals. what the investigators are hoping for is the one clue the one informant who might lead them to ask about. those

means are busy and those me going to their bases or don't you read us the i'm going to get a big. yoshimi. the rewards on the televised appeals for information make little headway however as whoever might be tempted to inform on the godfather will his cronies knows fully well it would mean the death sentence. as a result months go by and escobar remains as elusive as ever. despite the grind of the danger the such unit has to follow up every lead. often the unit's intelligence takes some to envy god the subway grew up. people were fighting you know the number published was a robin hood for the people who'd made it doesn't help a lot of. the poor he built churches. gave a lot of money to to people who lived you know they were guarded they were hiding.

here in this house the police were hoping to round up a few members of the cots out. to. eat some. unfortunately for the police they arrived too late and it wouldn't be the last time. elite forces well paid informants yet there was still no breakthrough to catch escobar there's a change of tactics with priority now being given to telecommunications. the americans provide an awacs surveillance aircraft and a twin engine plane to track vocal frequencies it's the first time such methods are used to hunt down one man. it means that colonel martinez and his men can eavesdrop

on hundreds of telephone radio conversations day and night twenty four seventh's. then in march one thousand nine hundred three. we suddenly realize we have asked about talking to his son on his cell phone but the problem was that he was constantly on the move. of the twin engine plane that is constantly in the area of amending manages to locate the frequency used in the phone call. a plane was able to identify where the cool would be made from on the ground so i immediately traced the location on a map of the city to find the exact spot. but i think. the calculations show that it came from a house in one of many human smart the suburbs escobar has to be there and it's just a matter of rounding him up. the orders are to move in a dorm and the house is thoroughly searched.

inside there's a display of wealth and if you stuff that a half asleep. you're the one thing you get is a guy who does this house belong to. marino is the name escobar often uses. the bed as a mate the bed clothes still warm as good bar it seems was tipped off just in time . to. story the only people of the stuff that's like that in all of his houses. has now been on the run from his comfortable imprisonment for eight months he's thumbing his nose at the special units. we missed at the beginning. twenty times you know we would pick them up on the radio we'd have the search

blocks around the area in we're always you know would always miss and. as time goes by popularity seems to increase. abating the authorities by luck or design makes him into a hero. in the rundown neighborhoods the poor on his side. he's got it problem with hair he wouldn't even need to. he's welcome here any time in our home he's welcome with open arms he will always be welcome. escobar also finds easy refuge with his cronies from the cartel and other traffickers on whose loyalty he can rely now more than a decade and a half later most i'm no longer alive. i left some members of the family.

gulo know how the godfather managed to remain at liberty for so long. maybe they might finally talk. according to some reports his son pablo and his widow maria victoria have sought refuge in argentina. is brother roberto. and his younger sister marina are still in. the escobar family had been untouchable for so long the brother and sister used to

go out quite openly these days they choose to keep a much lower profile. a local journalist helps out by providing the address of escobar system. is this where mrs escobar lives. yes she did no sorry she's just going out. ok we'll leave a message for her. well when one deals with water it has to realize that this tremendous amounts of damage that are done not just human damage but damage to the physical environment in which the battlefield takes place tremendous amounts of damage done by aerial bombs by napalm boy chemicals that whether it's a sonic boom six factory marine mammals or it's the burning oil fields here in the rock or it's destroyed coral reefs in the pacific for landing purposes the

list just goes on and on the geneva conventions of nineteen forty nine states that they are shall be taken in war to protect one by against widespread long term and severe damage the united states although it is accepted almost all of the provisions of protocol one has taken exception to that. question is that so much i was about to face until i think i'm not going to give it real name because i would feel even under the worst kinds of oppression people all around the world demonstrate time and again they want freedom and democratic institutions whose.
